Sub Sonic Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) There is a Dynaco PAT-5 Preamp mouldering away in a local second hand store, just wondering what it would be worth paying for it before I start haggling? And what would the sound quality be like, in todays terms? Cheers, Matt Edited August 19, 2019 by Sub Sonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub Sonic Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Thanks @Ian McP, interesting that they were available as kits. I'll drop through the second hand store and see how much they want for it. Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub Sonic Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I bought the PAT-5, it looks well laid out and shouldn’t be too hard to service so we’ll see how it goes. Will be interested to have a listen when it’s done It’s in reasonable condition for it’s age, the faceplate is in good nick, just needs a clean.

Sub Sonic Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Ok so all electrolytics have been replaced, and pots and switches have been cleaned with Deoxit. Faceplate and knobs have also been cleaned of many years of grunge. It’s actually come up pretty well, now to put some hours on it and see what it sounds like Edited September 6, 2019 by Sub Sonic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
